Hippocampus Centre, Bangalore

The first Hippocampus centre started in Koramangala, Bangalore. This was a for profit library catering to middle class children of Bangalore. In 3 months, this centre became the rage of Bangalore and is still considered one of the finest children spaces in Bangalore.

2005 saw us opening a centre in Chennai and very quickly we became the darling of children there too.

Hippocampus runs a book council to help children, parents, schools and libraries choose books. They have an annual story telling event called HOO's Tales. They also conduct a summer reading challenge every year and in 2010, they launched Get Shot Reading, an event that combined the best of books and photography for children.

Halloween and Xmas are very popular events at Hippocampus and children look forward to the large book collection and the weekend activities at the centres.
